About the Honor The AMLE Schools of Distinction program is both a recognition and continuous improvement initiative open to any school that educates students aged 10-15. Schools are selected for this honor following a rigorous review process, and the recognition is awarded on a four-year cycle.
This distinction celebrates our school's commitment to the middle grades best practices outlined in AMLE's foundational text, The Successful Middle School: This We Believe. By participating in this program, our school is guided through a process of self-assessment and strategic vision setting to foster ongoing growth and success. The objective of the program is to recognize and celebrate schools that are actively implementing the essential attributes and characteristics of successful middle grades schools.
